  • Williams, Sherley Anne.
    GIVE BIRTH TO BRIGHTNESS, a Thematic Study in Neo-Black Literature.

    Edition: First printing.

    New York: Dial Press, 1972. dj. Hardcover first edition - African American poet and novelist's important first book - a study of Black writers in America, focusing the concept of the hero and the rule breaker using the writings of James Baldwin, LeRoi Jones and Ernest Gaines, among others. Bibliography. 252 pages

    Condition: Ex-library with the usual pocket and stamps - however, overall this is a tight clean and apparently unread copy of an extremely hard to find first book, in a very good dustjacket (some tape remnants on the flaps) Issued simultaneously in both hardcover and paperback, it seems that almost all of the hardcover issue went to libraries.
